The approach to the offices of Girdlestone and Co. was not a very dignified one, nor would the uninitiated who traversed it form any conception of the commercial prosperity of the firm in question.
Girdlestone and Co. 사무실로 가는 길은 그다지 위엄 있는 길이 아니었고, 그 길을 지나간 사람들은 그 회사의 상업적 번영에 대해 전혀 짐작할 수 없었을 것입니다.
Close to the corner of a broad and busy street, within a couple of hundred yards of Fenchurch Street Station, a narrow doorway opens into a long whitewashed passage.
넓고 번잡한 거리 모퉁이 근처, 펜처치 스트리트 역에서 200야드 이내에 좁은 출입구가 길고 하얗게 칠해진 통로로 이어집니다.
On one side of this is a brass plate with the inscription "Girdlestone and Co., African Merchants," and above it a curious hieroglyphic supposed to represent a human hand in the act of pointing.
이것의 한쪽 면에는 "Girdlestone and Co., African Merchants"라는 글자가 새겨진 황동판이 있고 그 위에는 가리키는 사람의 손을 나타내는 것으로 추정되는 특이한 상형문자가 있습니다.
Following the guidance of this somewhat ghostly emblem, the wayfarer finds himself in a small square yard surrounded by doors, upon one of which the name of the firm reappears in large white letters, with the word "Push" printed beneath it.
이 다소 유령 같은 상징의 안내를 따라가다 보면 나그네는 문으로 둘러싸인 작은 사각형 마당에 도착하는데, 그 문 중 하나에는 회사의 이름이 큰 흰 글자로 다시 나타나고 그 아래에는 "밀다"라는 단어가 인쇄되어 있습니다.
If he follows this laconic invitation he will make his way into a long, low apartment, which is the counting-house of the African traders.
만일 그가 이 간결한 초대를 따른다면 그는 아프리카 상인들의 회계 사무실인 길고 낮은 방으로 들어가게 될 것이다.
On the afternoon of which we speak things were quiet at the offices.
우리가 말하는 그날 오후에는 사무실이 조용했습니다.
The line of pigeon-holes in the wire curtain was deserted by the public, though the linoleum-covered floor bore abundant traces of a busy morning.
철망 커튼에 있는 칸막이들은 사람들이 없어 텅 비어 있었지만, 리놀륨으로 덮인 바닥에는 분주했던 아침의 흔적이 가득했다.
Misty London light shone hazily through the glazed windows and cast dark shadows in the corners.
안개가 자욱한 런던의 빛이 유리창을 통해 희미하게 비쳐 구석구석에 어두운 그림자를 드리웠다.
